Schecter C-1 FR-S Pale Moon LH Guitar in Natural Satin with Black Burst
This left-handed C-1 FR-S Pale Moon is engineered for stage performance and extended studio sessions, featuring an ultra-thin neck profile and neck-through construction that locks in responsiveness and sustain. The Pale Moon Ebony top over Swamp Ash body paired with the Natural Satin with Black Burst finish cuts a commanding presence on stage while delivering the performance-grade hardware serious gigging musicians depend on.
Playability & Live Feel
The neck-thru design with Ultra Access and ultra-thin "C" profile (19mm at the 1st fret, 20mm at the 12th) lets you navigate the fretboard with minimal hand fatigue during long sets, with unrestricted access to higher positions. A 7-piece Maple/Walnut/Padauk neck provides structural integrity and cuts through the mix with tonal clarity, while 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets on a 12"-16" compound radius Richlite fretboard deliver consistent, durable response across the full range—crucial for the demands of touring and nightly gigs.
Electronics & Hardware
The Schecter Brimstone-6 bridge pickup paired with a Sustainiac neck pickup delivers articulate definition for cutting through a live mix alongside harmonic sustain for extended note control, managed via volume, tone, 3-way pickup selector, and dual Sustainiac mini switches. A Floyd Rose 1500 Locking Tremolo with Floyd Rose locking nut keeps your tuning locked in even through aggressive dive bombs and pitch manipulation, supported by TonePros "M Series" tuners for reliable, repeatable tuning night after night.
